Ine pSycnOlOglcal elements IN all pun
ishment, could find no place in the
moral consciousness or the moral expe-
rience of Christ. He was without sin,
and no legal fiction could change his
moral identity.
The author says: "Let us learn
something of the nature of the penalty
which according to Mr.. Armour, Christ
actually obeyed, paid, suffered, en-
dured. Paul says, it is the wages Of
sin that is death. This is spiritual
death. 1t is carnal mindedness. To
be carnally- minded is DEATH 1t is
enmity against God. The carnal mind
is enmity against God.' 1t is the Sec
ond death, the worm that never dies,
the vengeance of eternal fire, destruc-
ton from the presence of God and the
glory of his power. Now, how was it
possible for the sinless Christ, volun-
tarily or otherwise, to pay this penalty,
to obey it, suffer it, endure it ? The as
sumption is suicidal. This shows that
it is naturally and morally impossible
for the substitutional theory of the
atonement to be true"
The author thus criticises the doc
trine of equivalent penalty: ut is asked
when all men claim the right to enact
and administer laws, in which equiv
alent penalty is provided, why may not
God do it, the answer is, Why is the
wise man not able to do what the fool
does? Simply because he is wise
man. Why can not God do what man
does ? Simply because he is God. Ger
tainly the Almighty has the right to
take lessons from human legislation if
he can do no better; but l should
hate to degrade the Supreme lawgiver
by intimating that he derived the prin-
ciples of his moral government from
the science Of human jurisprudence. :"
What is equivalent penaltyp 1t is the
substitution of one penalty for another

parties, and a substitution of persons
The suffering of the innocent in the
place of the guilty does not satisfy the
penalty, nor meet the demands of the
law. The law does not require the in
nocent to suffer, but the guilty. 1t
makes no demand of the innocent man
to suffer its penalty; therefore the
suffering of the innocent does not meet
the demands Of the law, or satisfy it's
penal requirements.
In his review, DR.. Quincy has not,
as we have said, given his own theory
of atonement, and makes no attempt to
explain the class of Biblical texts that
appear to teach substitution; nor does
he undertake to account for the suffer
ing Of the sinless Christ, under a gov
eminent administered in infinite wis
dom, justice, mercy and love. His
critical work in this review needs to be
supplemented with further statement
of his own opinions, and the argument
for the same. We might then expect to
find work Of considerable value, and
possibly on lines that his own church
needs to follow to reach the truth.

held at that hour, a conference and
praise meeting, under charge of Rev.
M. H. Houghton, of Storm Lake. The
general topic of remark was the rest
promised by Jesus to his faithful fol-
lowers and believers. "Take my yoke
upon you and learn of me-" After the in
troductory comments of the leader, brief
addresses followed, several of the lay
men and the sisters speaking instruct
lively. Brs. Crum, Gorton, Demarest
and others, also spoke. The hour from
8 to 10 was happily spent.

THE SCIENTISTS appear to be in dan
ger from theological truths, however
far they may be from any danger of
being religious. When science declares
that "the entire movable universe is
pervaded by single principle of life''-
it is very easy to put in the place of
this ''single principle of life' the old,
solemn word, "God," and rest there as
men have from the beginning. When
science declares that nature has been
from the first seeking to throw off the
"brute inheritance" the Original sin"
of man for ''purely spiritual ends" it
is easy to transpose this into heaven
of holiness, and to hope for this as re-
hgious souls have hoped through all the
ages. When scientists like Professor
Agassiz declare that "the human mind
would dwindle on its own resources, {"
that it must be fed from above, must
have help from 1.-THE Creator of the
world, if it would rightly investigate
it," it is easy to believe in divine in
spiration, to believe with Job, "There
is a spirit in man, and the Almighty
giveth him understanding" A belief in
God, in divine inspiration, and in the
moral perfectability of the race, is be-
lief in all the fundamental truths of re-
ligion.

THE Recorder, (Methodist), of Pitts

On principle we are opposed to the in
fliction of capital punishment but in
asmuch as it is the law, we cannot re-
commend any departure from its letter
or spirit in the case Of the men whom
the law holds responsible for the MUIR
der and manning of the police on May
4, 1886. They have been duly and
legally convicted Of an atrocious crime
against the good order of society, result
ing in the death Of eight of the defend
ers of our homes, and the wounding of
fifty or sixty more; and they planned
murder, pillage, and destruction beyond
this. 1t is not case for mercy-strict,
awful justice should be done. We may
make our plea against capital punish
ment under other circumstances. The
State cannot afford to indulge in senti-
ment when the stake is the order and
stability of civilized community. Glenn
,ency now extended to these men would
give courage to every disturber of the
public peace, and bring new harvest
of anarchy to our very doors. Let JUS
tice be done, and terrible example
made in the case of these avowed enc
mics of the social order and advocates of
dynamite murder.

THAT was notable occasion at the
Iowa Convention, when the venerable
Hannibal Hamlin, the only living Vice
President of the United States, and
the associate of Abraham Lincoln in
the administration that gave emanci-
patton to the slaves and carried the
country successfully through the civil
war, attended and received the greet
ings of the Convention. The address
of the venerable statesman and the
reception organized in his honor, will
live in the memory of those present.
1t was fine incident which will make
the Usage Convention memorable. The
benevolent countenance of the aged
statesman beamed with the ''grace of
character as he shook hands with the
people; and he had pleasant word for
those who greeted him with such evil
dent sincerity. The mothers held up
their children for his attention; and the
boys and girls also, were remembered
with a kindly word. We give else
where a report of the Vice-President's
address-brief, but concise, and en-
phatic in his declaration of sympathy
with the work of our Church. The
members of the Convention will also
bear in pleasant memory, the visit of
Hon. N. G. Deering, of Usage, whose
guest the Vice-President was, and who
kindly assisted in the reception, and
afterward extended the courtesies of his
home to the visitors and delegates.

Go WHERE he will throughout the
country-in the most remote frontier
neighborhood, or the populous city, the
visitor from Chicago is met with the
question: "What will be done with the
Anarchists ?" The anxiety for news
from the front during the civil war is
the nearest parallel to the anxiety dis
played by people in all portions of the
country, in reference to the case of
these convicted enemies of the civil
order and welfare of community. 1t is
only stating the actual fact that the
conviction very generally prevails that
any Communication of punishment would
be serious mistake-one of those mis-
takes which would be criminal, consid-
ering all the exigencies of the occasion.

than the premise; that human laws do
not create, but only assume obligation;
and as they do not create obligation,
they cannot change it.
The author shows that Christ could
not be our substitute, or pay our debt,
suffer our punishment, and endure the
curse of the law for us, because moral
personality, moral responsibility, moral
obligation, moral character and moral
liability are qualities that cannot be
transferred from the guilty to the inno-
cent. The Saviour was not needed to
pay mans infinite debt; because man
as finite being could not contract an
infinite debt, could not be guilty of an
infinite sin, and could not become liable
to infinite punishment. Christ suffered
for US, but was not and could not be
punished for US, as all punishment i'm
plies the presence of the moral element
of guilt-the consciousness that punish
ment is deserved. This Christ could
not feel; therefore, the essential moral
element necessary to make suffering of
punishment was wanting in his charac-
ter and experience. A consciousness
of guilt, a feeling of condemnation,
remorse of conscience, sense of shame,
fear and moral degradation which are

A couple of centuries ago most of the
Kings and Queens OF Europe partOOk OF
their principal meals in a semi-public
fashion. That is to say, the royal saloons
were often crowded with cOurtierS who
simply came to witness and not 10 partake
of the royal banquet. Some OF the ancient
Kings of France invested certain of their
important banquets with Il barbarOus
magnifcenee, and rs they sat ut table the
nobility served them on horseback.
The Maldiyian islanders used to take
their meals in the strictest solitude. They
would retire to the most hidden parts OF
their houses and close up their windows
10 that they might eat unobseryed. The
origin of this singular custom was proba-
bly, the fear in savage times of being de-
priyed of their meals by marauderS, and
superStitious fears of the food being be
witehed by some incarnation of IN enemy
also contributed to bring about the feast oil
solitude. Among the higher classes there
was n custom never to eat with any one
inferior in birth, riches or dignity, aud
the great difficulty of settling this matter
of equality left the only alternative of IN
uusOciable and miSanthropic custom. -

1t appears that the farmers of Penn
sylvania are not SO blind to their own
interests and the welfare of the Coun-
try at large as might be supposed for
the name which the state bears as the
hot-bed of protection. In the recent
meeting of the State Grange at Har-
risburg there was warm discussion
of the tariff question in general and
the presidents message in particular.
The Oyerseer, Mr.. McSparrow, submit
ted report favoring Mr.. Cleveland's
plan of revenue reform. His speech
is reported as follows.
He appealed to the farmers not to
be misled on the raw material, and
gave figures to show that to protect a
wool industry amounting to S45,000,-
600 the people pay us consumers an
excess Of $l46,0O0000, Then he
quoted from figures showing the as
SeSSed valuation of farms to illustrate
how freight determinations. unjust
taNations and high tariff are Gripping
the agricultural resources. From 1850
to 1860, under low tariff, farms in
creased 100 per cent. in valuation;
from 1860 60 1870, under high tariff,
only per cent He opposed the re
peal of the internal revenue tax, and
favored tariff reform, but not indis-
eliminate free trade.
Other influential members of the
Grange supported by able speeches the
eminently sound position taken by
Mr.. McSparrow. The American people
are bound to have greater commercial
freedom just as soon as the tariff ques-
ton is thoroughly aired.

or may not succeed in their efforts to
secure q reduction duties during the

going about their work in business

follows the reductions contemplated:.

committee with the endorsement of
Speaker Carlisle, after the holiday re-
cess, as the basis of revenue reform,
eontemplates n reduction of $4,000
coo of annual revenue OF this
amount 100000 is to come from
reductions of duties, chiefly on manu-
features, and $12,0OO,000 from adding
wool, salt, lumber, coal, etc, to the free
list. The bill proposes the suDstitu-
ton or specific for ad yalorem rates,
where the latter are difficult of en-
forcemcnt. In the chemical. earthen
and glassware schedules numerous iu-
dicious reductions are proposed. In
metals material reductions on iron and
steel are recommended. In the wool
and woolens schedule, raw wool being
made free, the rates on raw wooden
fabrics We're SO reduced as to take
away about SlOO00,OO0 upon the basis
of last years importations.

y few years ago a number of cheese
factories were erected in the town of
Moscow, and operated after the man
ner Of factories which had been sue
cessfully conducted for some years
previous in Green county. The ven
lures on this side of the line proved a
decided success in each instance, and
an increased number of factories have
been built each succeeding year in
Moscow, Ridgeway, Waldwick, Mineral
Paint, Linden and other towns, and in
a season or two more they will be
dotted all over the county. Their
rapid increase in numbers would indi-
cate that the manufacture of cheese is
a profitable business, and one especi-
ally adapted to this section of the
country.
From the following brief notice of a
company doing business in the western
part of the town of Linden, will be
seen the plan upon which the factories
are generally conducted:
The Linden Cheese Manufacturing
Company held their first meeting for
the election of officers and transaction
of other business on NOV. Goth at the
factory, which is situated on the land
Of Mr.. John Batten, two miles west of
the village Of Linden. The company
associated together last spring to es-
tablish factory for the manufacture
Of swiss, Limburger and brick cheese,
and have just completed a successful
season, the factory being under the
control of Mr.. John Voegly of Monroe.
They are now permanently organized
as jOint-stock company, with the fol-
lowing officers elected for the ensuing
year: John Batten, president; n. j.
Jacobs, secretary; Grant +. Batten,
treasurer. One hundred and sixty-five
shares have been taken, and the com
pany intend early in the spring to build
a cellar sufficiently large to keep the
cheese of the entire season, and will
manufacture cheese from the milk of
one hundred and seventy-fye or two
hundred cows next year.
American cheese finds a world wide
market, and in provisions exported
ranks next to pork. Farmers may
therefore engage in its manufacture
without fear of the business soon be-
coming less remunerative through So
called over production.
